CaliBear 8 Inch Vortex Spiked Recycler Dab Rig

Most recyclers send water up one or two paths. This one uses four, arranged around a spiked circular centrepiece. Drawing water through all of them at once creates an offset that sets the chamber turning in a vortex instead of simply looping, so the water keeps moving through the draw rather than sitting in one place.

That design is the reason to choose it over a plainer recycler, and it asks a little more of you. The vortex depends on water level: too little and it will not form, too much and the water climbs toward the neck, so expect some trial and error to find your amount. You can compare it with other styles in our recycler dab rigs, see more from the maker in the CaliBear collection, and find a banger in dab rig parts and accessories. Check your banger's joint size and angle against this rig before ordering.

It suits someone who enjoys watching a mechanism work and does not mind some upkeep. More uptakes mean more glass passages to keep clean. If you mostly take a single dab and put the rig down, a simpler recycler will be less effort.
